How far is it 2--- Cyrus
||
Cyrus is my friend Lisa's elder son .This name comes from Bible since Lisa couple is Christian.After Cyrus was born in USA, he was sent to China to stay with his grandparents for 2 years due to Lisa couple's busy work.But Cyrus can still speak very good English and a little Chinese(Usually he speaks English).On Lisa 's motor home there is a mini TV.Once they are on a trip,Lisa will turn on the TV and give English cartoons to kids.All the educational DVD for kids are available for everyone in the library of town for free.
Cyrus is in Grade 5 but he is a genius and I admire him. When I met him for the first time at Lisa's house,after a short talk with me about my recent trip from China he drew a picture for me---a exact plan of Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital airport ,and explained everything to me:where is food court and where we can check in,so on and so forth.I felt shamed about my poor memery and was surprised by his memory as well as drawing skills.
Lisa told me when Cyrus was a 5-year old boy,he can travel from USA to China on his own.Cyrus has a strong interest in science and an amazing memory.After he knew my major, he became my good friend and showed his geological background to me.He drew a schematic about the mutual transformation of three major rocks in several seconds and told me how it works. Lisa said Cyrus can remember everything easily and exactly and I agree with her.This Thanksgiving Day break, Lisa couple took their two sons to Washington DC for a museum trip.Cyrus enjoyed this airplane museum very much and presented all his photos about trip to me.He can tell a story about each airplane and I ask how he can know everything and whether they have a guide in museum.He answered proudly:" I search it".Oh,I remembered immediately his father had bought a new tablet---goodle nexus 7 before they started out.Maybe for Cyrus, I guess.
Cyrus 's dream is to be a scientist and everyone who met this smart boy with big and black eyes has to praise his rich knowledge covering biology, geolgy, drawing and history.I hope his dream will come true in the near future.
